Stagehand

Stagehand companion module

This is the small Foundry VTT module that goes with the Stagehand extension and Android app. Stagehand’s Setup page runs outside your worlds, so it can’t see which modules a world actually has turned on, and it can’t change them. The companion module does both of those jobs from inside the world.

When the full Gamemaster joins, it notes the world’s active modules, their versions, and the Foundry and system versions, and leaves that report where Setup can read it. If you queued module changes in Setup, it checks them against the live world and shows you a dialog with three choices: apply and reload, not now, or discard. If you already reviewed a launch in Setup and nothing has changed since, it applies the changes without asking again. It uses Foundry’s own module settings to make the changes, reloads once, and never turns itself off.

It’s deliberately cautious. Players and Assistant GMs never run it, and if several Gamemasters are online, only one of them does, so a change can’t be applied twice. It writes nothing except the world’s own flags and the module setting, and it talks only to your Foundry server. It sends no telemetry.

On its own it does nothing, so you need the Stagehand extension or app too. Find the extension here: Chrome Web Store

Until the Google Play app is live, download the Android APK from the GitHub releases.
